Donald Trump got the question everyone expected he'd get at Monday night's debate: When will he release his tax returns? He initially gave a familiar response: “I don’t mind releasing. I’m under a routine audit. As soon as it’s finished, it will be released," he said. But as the topic continued and moderator Lester Holt noted that the IRS has said Trump is free to release his returns, he turned the question against Hillary Clinton: “I will release my tax returns, against my lawyers’ wishes, when she releases the 30,000 emails that she has deleted,” he said, as quoted at Fortune. In the course of answering, Trump also said he made $694 million last year: "That's the kind of thinking that our country needs."

Clinton, for her part, accused Trump of delaying the release of his returns because he's hiding something. “Maybe he doesn’t want the American people, all of you watching tonight, to know that he has paid nothing in federal taxes," she said, per the New York Times. Or maybe he doesn't give as much to charity as he claims, she added. Whatever the reason, it's too dangerous to allow him to reach the White House without that transparency, said Clinton. "Who does he owe money to?"

I know no one cares: I was not on the fence about either one of the presidential candidates. Face it guys, we have a $hit taco or a turd sandwich, both of which are pretty repulsive. But that's what's in our lunch box, and we are hungry as hell. Last nights debate performance by Donald was disappointing to America. No plan, no answers, no explanations, no teamwork, nothing. He looked like a babbling buffoon. Whereas Hillary (regardless of the fact checking, etc) kept her composure, took her time to explain in great detail (regardless of if it would work or not) her plans and goals for the future of America. I don't care who becomes president to get stuff done here, I don't. Because it's all corruption. But when I need to choose a person that will represent the country that I live in, I would rather have someone that can, at the very least, PRETEND TO GIVE A $HIT. This is the most respected position in the land, and Donald couldn't care enough to even prepare a bit on any of the topics he could imagine would be discussed. That is a scary person to lead a country, that is a scary person to represent the entire land that I live freely in.
